49-----------

51This ioctl is obsolete. Do not use in new drivers. For V4L2 decoders
52this ioctl has been replaced by the
53:ref:`VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD` ioctl.
54
55This ioctl commands the decoder. The ``video_command`` struct is a
56subset of the ``v4l2_decoder_cmd`` struct, so refer to the
57:ref:`VIDIOC_DECODER_CMD` documentation for
58more information.
